I think they are. To be honest I have never used any of those.

It looks old but if they aren't rusted they should be good. I have the 100 pkg of Personna Gem SE and one thing I see in common is the .009
I don't think they're wallpaper scrapers, which are not good for shaving with.

The 0.009 thickness is indeed typical for shaving (vs 0.017 typical for carpet cutting etc). I think those are technically a lab grade triple facet blade (pathology grossing and sectioning) so they should be quite capable of shaving. If they are priced right I would probably give them a shot
